Shot in the dark: predicting Pat Wiercioch to MIN today

I...I really like this! Sign me up for wanting this to happen.

It would probably take a 2nd or two 3rds or something, if not more.

 

[Wild Caniac]

Hurricanes want him too. Not sure what happens with him.

I tend to agree with that simply on the fact that he's a big LHD.

What is Leopold's real value? 5th/6th rounder? I don't really like the notion of MN always "bringing everyone home" but if the cost is that low, maybe it doesn't make sense for us to bring in any other Dman

 

[Lennu32]

James Sheppard netted a 4th round pick for San Jose. This year they are pretty close, so that's probably the return for Brodziak.

Me thinks Brodziak is more valuable than 4th round pick to the Wild. The 4th line has been really good.

Russo said it's likely a 6th/7th but CBJ want a 5th.

 

[BusQuets]

Brodziak is really good on pk. I think we could get 3rd for him. Though i don't want to trade him.

Russostrib: Scandella may play tomorrow. Spurgeon skated on own this morning and playing tomorrow. Thursday possible*#mnwild

Great news! Def effects deals being made today though.

I would day a 5th or 6th is fair value.

Per Russo, as Pod mentioned, Spurgeon and Scandella could come back this week. That would be huge. But I do still think if Leopold can be had for a 5th or 6th, pick him up as insurance and to push Prosser out of the lineup some nights.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Anything so Falk never has to play again will work for me

 

[sisseton]

Zidlicky just went to DET for a 3rd

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Anyone else see this from Eklund?
Wild in on a “big name."

Just can't take this guy serious...

nope can't take him serious, but I wonder what big name he thinks were in on Kessel?

Maybe he means in the amount of letters used to spell the name?

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Now I don't want a big name just so he's wrong again. Ok, maybe not just to spite him but I feel like he's just guessing Phaneuf or Kessel.

 

[sisseton]

isn't he always or usually wrong anyways. Also do you have a link to where he said were in on a big name.

 

[Loopy0ne]

Gryba is really the only guy I want - maybe Gardiner for cheap. Any trade has to be cheap

Thanks I also found this too

http://www.hockeybuzz.com/boards/thread.php?thread_id=124583&page=1

one of the posts on that forum said Unconfirmed from one of my sources, but it could also be Bozak, JVR, Gryba, or Wiercoch.

but again it's a hockeybuzz forum so not sure if I put any meat on what's being thrown out there.

I like how JVR is lumped into that group haha

The last "big" deal that I remember Eklund actually being right on was the Mike Richards deal to LA a few years ago. That tweet about a "big" name just feels like click bait.
